Your Uncle shall take them with him when he drives to town and have them woven into pretty, serviceable rugs for the floor." "And, oh! Aunt Sarah," cried Mary, "do let's have an open fireplace.
It makes a room so cheery and 'comfy' when the weather gets colder, on long winter evenings, to have a fire in the grate.
